Go Nani Go looks to have enjoyed something of renaissance and while he's campaigned off similar marks when with Bryan Smart, he will need a career best to oblige in tonight's contest. Howyadoingnotsobad ran well at Windsor last Monday, and with the handicapper dropping him 3lb and Ryan While able to claim a further seven, Karen George's gelding has plenty in his favour. SANDFRANKSKIPSGO seems to have a penchant for esoteric circuits and with a recent win at Brighton under his belt, we think he can be competitive again off just a 3lb higher mark. Monumental Man has won four races on the Polytrack although he is still a maiden on turf. Indian Tinker has been knocking on the door for some time and any softening of the going shouldn't inconvenience.
